Child Nutrition One of the most important roles of the food system is to build and maintain the health of our children. We advocate for policies that make healthy food the easiest choice for parents and children.	Good Food for All Providing everyone with access to healthy, nutritious and culturally appropriate foods isn’t just a good idea — it’s the cornerstone for healthy people, local economic development and reduced health care costs.
Next Generation of Farmers We are working to promote policies and information resources to make these new farmers successful and help existing farmers maintain economic viability.	The Gardening Revolution Gardening empowers eaters to take an active role in producing their own food, which can harvest benefits to our health, environment, economy, and communities.
Transparency in the Food System When it's not possible to know your farmers and food manufacturers, our food system should provide enough transparency so that consumers can be assured that their food purchases match their values.
